FOOD STORAGE — HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP...

MAYONNAISE, COMMERCIALLY BOTTLED — UNOPENED

Pantry

3-4 months after date on package

Tips

Store in cool, dry area.

Storage time shown is for best quality only — after that, the mayonnaise's texture, color or flavor may change, but in most cases, it will still be safe to consume if it has been stored properly and the package is not damaged.

If mayonnaise develops an off odor, flavor or appearance, it should be discarded for quality purposes.

"Best By," "Best if Used By," and "Use By" dates on commercially packaged foods sold in the United States represent the manufacturer's estimate of how long the product will remain at peak quality — in most cases, the unopened mayonnaise will still be safe to consume after that date, as long as it has been stored properly and the package is not damaged.
